    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    A quick note before we begin: I actually tried writing this update three separate times over the last few weeks. Every time I sat down, I ended up taking a slightly different angle—focusing on the manuscript, the seasonal shifts, or the struggle to rebuild my morning routine. Instead of choosing just one, I decided to pull those three attempts together into a single, honest reflection of where things stand.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-15788
